Hearing Nicole's invitation to him, Ronald couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Could it be that they want me, a so-called temporary worker, to join their real work as a front-line investigator?
Even if the Bureau of Investigation is short-staffed, this is somewhat outrageous.
The support personnel sent from the headquarters have just gone up.
Ronald thought briefly.
When I get along with Nicole these days, this investigator girl has a pretty good personality.
So he asked simply:
"Nicole, what happened up there?"
"I think under normal circumstances, the Investigation Bureau shouldn't let us temporary workers really get involved in your important work, right?"
"Tsk——"
Hearing Ronald's question, Nicole smacked her lips.
Glancing up the stairs with dissatisfied eyes, she did not answer the question immediately, but asked Ronald a question instead.
"Hey, Ronald."
"Do you know what the real organizational structure of our Investigation Bureau is like?"
Ronald shook his head:
"How could I know about such a confidential matter?"
"This is not a classified matter."
Nicole clasped her fingers sadly and explained as if she was talking about her own private matters:
"As long as you have some contact with our investigation bureau, you will understand our simple organizational structure. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three main departments."
"The investigation department that is truly on the front line; the intelligence department that is responsible for collecting intelligence and transmitting this information; and finally the security department that provides 24-hour protection for some people with special status."
"Although there are also positions such as service personnel in the bureau, depending on the service targets, they are generally included in these three largest branches."
Hearing this, Ronald asked curiously:
"What you are talking about has nothing to do with me joining the frontline work, right?"
"Have I not finished speaking yet?"
After being interrupted, Nicole simply rolled her eyes at Ronald.
Then he continued to explain leisurely:
"In smaller cities, everyone can still be happy with this three-level institutional model. But in a behemoth like Springs, this form of decentralization has reached its limit."
"Even under the leadership of a figure like the director-general of the Investigation Bureau, there are considerable conflicts between the main leaders of the three departments."
"These are the most powerful leaders of schools in the world!"
"Not only are they proficient in the original scriptures in their hands, they are also extremely proficient in playing with the power system owned by the Investigation Bureau."
Speaking of this, Nicole made a 'pop' sound and slapped her hands on her face helplessly.
Then he said in a tangled tone:
"And one of these three big shots once came from our Burrenwich Investigation Bureau."
"..."
Judging from the faint tone, Ronald probably figured it out.
This big man who was born in the Burrenwich Bureau and eventually became one of the three commanders, and his relationship with the place of his birth...
I'm afraid it's not very good.
But what is the reason?
Is it because when he was weak, he was discriminated against or bullied in Burrenwich?
Or is there some kind of misunderstanding between the two parties, and the conflicts finally intensified, leading to the deterioration of the relationship?
"It seems you have guessed it too."
Finding that Ronald in front of her was deep in thought, Nicole's eyes revealed the unnoticeable displeasure. After looking left and right to make sure there was no one in the hall, she moved to Ronald's side and whispered in a low voice:
"I'll tell you quietly."
"That guy is actually an ungrateful white-eyed wolf."
"Born in the Burrenwich Bureau of Investigation, he took over after the death of the old director, and gradually climbed to the top of power. Finally, five years ago, he was successfully promoted to one of the three heads of the Springs General Bureau."
"But even so, that guy never thought of taking care of Burrenwich. Instead, he often transferred many powerful guys to Burrenwich on the grounds that 'Burrenwich is a tourist city and mysterious incidents are not very rampant.'
Springs works for him!”
"So if we randomly find an experienced investigator, no one will like these people from the headquarters. You must know that our Burrenwich Investigation Bureau used to be one of the top ten powerful units within the Bureau.
ah!"
"..."
Is that so?
No wonder the people in the Bureau of Investigation became tense as soon as Spencer showed up.
According to Ronald's knowledge, the Dongfeng's trajectory through the Yuez Forest was considered a miraculous product in this era.
Without taking long detours on the main road, this is the closest route that directly connects Grid and Entrod. As long as you pass through the Yuez Forest and reach the border city of Wolfman, you can walk into the other country's border within a few kilometers.
In this case, Greed defected from Entrod.
That Spencer most likely took the Dongfeng and entered the first big city on this track, Burrenwich, where he was ordered to work in the Bureau of Investigation.
As a person with excellent combat power and intelligence control, he will naturally be called into his subordinates by the promoted boss.
So the people sent from the Investigation Bureau headquarters this time turned out to be suitable for the conflicting forces in Burrenwich?
No wonder Nicole and Mapel don't like these guys so much.
After listening to Nicole's explanation, Ronald finally understood the grudges between the two parties.
But soon, he noticed a blind spot.
Staring at the young investigator in front of him with doubtful eyes, he asked hesitantly:
"Nicole..."
"The guy you just mentioned who was promoted to Springs, when was he promoted?"
"five years ago!"
Nicole almost didn't need to think and answered this answer instinctively.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Ronald then asked:
"When did you join the Investigation Bureau?"
"..."
The air suddenly became silent.
yes!
She is a newcomer who has only joined the Investigation Bureau for more than a year and less than two years. Although she is considered an elite force, it seems that the hatred between her and this guy who left five years ago is not that outrageous?
His eyes swayed from side to side erratically.
Then the girl reached out and grabbed the hair around her neck to distract herself from the embarrassment in her heart.
"that......"
"Look at this kind of thing, it actually has little to do with when I joined."
"After all, I've done all the immoral things, and I'm quite smart. My colleagues heard about this guy's behavior and developed some negative attitudes, so there's nothing wrong with it, right?"
"really."
Ronald nodded, and then he didn't intend to refute Nicole's face anymore.
"So in order to make things difficult for these guys, you plan to place these people in positions such as the front desk, where they cannot do actual work, to humiliate these self-proclaimed elites, and then abandon the investigators of Burrenwich?"
"It's not like making things difficult."
Nicole let down the hair around her neck and her tone became more serious:
"Five people are here to support our Burrenwich Investigation Bureau, so it's okay to have two of them help with the clerical work, right?"
"Besides, although the situation in Burrenwich has been a bit tense recently."
"But it's not to the point of destroying everything."
"With the help of the police station and private detectives, the situation is actually still under control."
"These five guys may have come here just to take credit from us!"
"..."
Ronald scratched his head and said enough.
There is no need to keep digging to get to the bottom of it.
Immediately, he dropped the topic:
"I went on an affair with you guys, so my library card should still be usable, right?"
Hearing the agreement in Ronald's words, Nicole had a bright smile on her face:
